In June 2021 we visited Silwan, in occupied East Jerusalem, to see the ways in which Palestinians are resisting Israeli occupation and displacement. In Silwan, Israel and its tourist and archeology industries seek to link the bible story of King David to the modern Israeli state. This controversial reading of archeology and history supports the illusion that Jerusalem has an exclusively Jewish history and that therefore Jews are entitled to the city. This delegation is co-sponsored by Madaa Creative Center and Art Forces.

This a perfect opportunity for you and your community to “visit” parts of Palestine/Israel from the comfort of your homes and get a taste of what a full delegation with Eyewitness Palestine is like.
